Description

分发吸湿用品的方法Method of distributing absorbent articles

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种个人用吸湿用品的分发方法，特别是一种可允许个人对具有不同特性的吸湿用品加以选择的分发方法。The present invention relates to a method of dispensing absorbent articles for personal use, and more particularly to a method of dispensing which allows an individual to select absorbent articles having different characteristics.

背景技术Background technique

吸湿用品的作用在于既能包容人体排出的物质，又能将这些物质与配带者的身体以及衣服和床上用品隔离开来。本领域内已有许多具有不同设计的一次性吸湿用品。然而，一些有关吸湿用品，特别是月经产品的关键特征对这类产品的性能会产生影响。The function of absorbent articles is to contain the substances excreted by the body and to isolate these substances from the wearer's body as well as clothing and bedding. Numerous disposable absorbent articles of various designs are known in the art. However, some key characteristics of absorbent articles, especially menstrual products, can affect the performance of such products.

例如，日用型吸湿用品吸收体液和防止渗漏的吸湿性能与夜用型吸湿用品所要求的吸湿性能就很不同。因为通常在夜间吸湿用品的使用时间较白天使用的时间而言要更长，而且，在夜间体液的排出量通常大于白天的排出量。尽管白天和夜间对吸湿用品的吸湿能力的需求有很大差异，但人们通常使用的是具有同一吸收能力的吸湿用品，遗憾的是，有时吸湿用品在夜间的吸湿能力不够而发生渗漏。For example, the absorbent properties required for absorbent articles for day use to absorb body fluids and prevent leakage are very different from those required for absorbent articles for overnight use. Because the use time of absorbent articles is usually longer at night than during the day, and the discharge of body fluids is usually greater at night than during the day. Although absorbent articles have very different absorbent needs during the day and at night, absorbent articles of the same absorbent capacity are generally used. Unfortunately, absorbent articles sometimes do not have enough absorbent capacity at night to leak.

在研制本发明的过程中发现，为顾客，特别是使用月经用品的顾客提供一个由不同产品组合而成的产品系列(具有不同厚度，长度，产品特征(如有护翼或无护翼)的产品)较在不同情况下均使用单一产品而言，可为顾客提供更多的呵护和舒适。In the process of developing the present invention, it is found that for customers, especially customers who use menstrual products, a series of products (with different thicknesses, lengths, product features (such as wings or no wings)) composed of different products is provided. product) can provide customers with more care and comfort than using a single product in different situations.

目前，吸湿用品，例如月经用品通常是以10件至20件一包进行销售。这样一包物品在美国常常是3～4美元一包。对只想购买少量吸湿用品或只想尝试一种她从未使用过的产品的顾客来说，这个价格肯定是高了，此外，如果顾客家里拥有不只一种这类产品的话，这些物品体积也太大，占据了顾客柜橱很大一部分空间。目前还没办法能使顾客选购单件产品，或少量产品，或是对产品进行组合来形成一个自我护理体系。Currently, absorbent articles, such as menstrual articles, are usually sold in packs of 10 to 20 pieces. A pack of such items is often $3 to $4 a pack in the United States. For a customer who only wants to buy a small amount of absorbent products or just wants to try a product that she has never used, this price is definitely high It is too big and takes up a large part of the customer's cabinet space. There is currently no way to enable customers to purchase single products, or a small number of products, or to combine products to form a self-care system.

此外，大量不同型号的月经用品也常常使购买妇女卫生用品的顾客感到困惑，不知道究竟那种产品最适合她们的需要。最近一项调查表明，将近70％的顾客说在调查之前的前半年内曾经购买过错误型号的卫生巾和/或内裤。In addition, the large number of different models of menstrual products often confuses customers shopping for feminine hygiene products as to which product best suits their needs. According to a recent survey, nearly 70% of customers said they had purchased the wrong type of sanitary napkin and/or underwear in the six months prior to the survey.

发明内容Contents of the invention

本发明的另一个目的在于提供一种吸湿用品的分配方法，允许顾客选择由具有不同特性的吸湿用品形成的组合以形成一套护理系统。Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of dispensing absorbent articles which allows the customer to select a combination of absorbent articles having different characteristics to form a care system.

本发明的又一目的在于提供一种分发吸湿用品，特别是月经用品的方法，使顾客能够经济地对各种不同类型的吸湿用品加以尝试。It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method of dispensing absorbent articles, particularly catamenial articles, which enables consumers to try various different types of absorbent articles economically.

Such mechanisms for providing information to the customer include, but are not limited to, charts that the customer can read, dials that the customer can move to clarify their needs and obtain guidance on the appropriate system of care, or an interactive computer. The last device, the interactive computer, can for example prompt the customer to enter several (3-4) key pieces of information about their menstrual cycle, body shape and size, and the type of product they currently prefer. Based on this information, opinions and suggestions about the product system can be provided to the customer, which will optimize the use of the product in the dispensing device 20 . Such key information may include perceived body fluid flow (eg mild, moderate or severe), panty size (eg 5-10), current preferred product thickness and product length.

在其他的实施例中，可以使用目前已有的自动化程度更高的产品选择和分发系统。在又一些实施例中，本发明的产品分发装置20可以组成一组，并且为顾客将构成其选定的个人护理系统的各产品包装在一起。这样的分发系统可以与上述的机构44组合使用。In other embodiments, more automated product selection and distribution systems that are currently available may be used. In yet other embodiments, the product dispensing devices 20 of the present invention can be grouped together and packaged together for the customer to make up the individual products of their selected personal care system. Such a dispensing system may be used in combination with mechanism 44 described above.

本发明还涉及一种服务于个人的用于分发不同类型的吸湿用品的方法，所述方法包括如下步骤：The present invention also relates to a method for dispensing different types of absorbent articles in the service of individuals, said method comprising the steps of:
